This page consist of inbreeding calculations for the dog you selected or the "Virtual Mating" you have entered.The calculations on this page are accurate to the point that they can only be made based upon the information in the database.For more detailed calculations please make sure that as many as possible of the ancestors are known in the database.We hope this tool will be valuable to breeders and enthousiasts.Each information block has an explanation button which can be clicked to find information on that specific subject.

Shown here are the parents of the dog you selected for the COI% calculation or the dogs you selected for "Virtual Mating".The gender of these dogs is shown here as well as the number of pups they have in the pedigree database.

Shown here are the number of ascendents found in this specific pedigree tree.A complete tree will contain up to 510 ascendants. (8 generations are used for the calculations on this page).Also shown is the number of unique ascendents. These figures will give you an indication as to how varied the gene pool is for this animal.

A total count of 500 animals with only 100 unique ascendents means that out of the 500 animals found in 8 generations there are only 100 unique animals present. These 100 animals make up the tree. Obviousily 510 unique ascendents would be better for a more varied (less inbred) gene pool.

If you clicked on the COI% calculation for a single dog in the database the inbred percentage is shown here.If you clicked on the "Virutal Mating" button the value shown here is for any puppies that these two dogs might produce.

Here you'll find a list of the ascendents (parents, gandparents etc.) who contribute the most to the genetic makeup of the selected dog.If you clicked on "Virutal Mating" these are the dogs who will contribute the most to any potential pups that the chosen sire and dam might produce.

The fact that a dog is the most contributing ascendent does not have to mean that that dog also has the highest inbred precentage.A dog with a low inbred percentage can have a large contributing factor by being a closer relative (grandparent and great-grandparent for example) than other dogs with a higher inbred percentage.

The dog you selected will have most in common with the dogs in this list.If you clicked on the "Virtual Mating" the potential pups will have most in common with the dogs in this list.

Shown here are the ascendents in the pedigree tree with the highest inbred percentages.This list gives an indication of the inbred percentages in earlier generations which (could) affect the selected dog or selected mating.
